Early Impressions
When I was a kid in 1963 and had just started playing the trumpet, this was just out. Al Hirt made it sound so fun and easy. I fell in love with his sound.

Maynard Ferguson playing “Somewhere” in 1969.
Maynard would have been about 41 and living in Europe during this time. The big bands were dying and he would reinvent himself and his music in another year when MF Horn 1 came out.
